Brilliant, just do this 4 million times and they might take notice.

Only a fifth? I suspect that is a motorists definition of running a red light i.e it doesn't count if the light has only been red for ten seconds because motorists pay road tax. If a cyclist crosses a red light 0.01 seconds after red it proves all cyclists run red lights.

there are numerous videos of literally dozens of cyclists ignoring a red
light, one after the other. It is rare to see more than one car jump a
red light, largely because of police cameras, dash cams and number plates.

It is no good just inventing things, and attempting rudeness.

Have you ever seen a video of 10,000 cars go over a single red?
There are plenty of videos showing multi cyclists go over a single red.
such as this one :

So you think it is OK for car drivers to jump a red light so long as no other car driver follows?

It is illegal no matter what private vehicle does it.
But the point is that cyclists regularly ignore red lights, very often
just going over in a herd, while it is rare to see more than one car
jump the same red light.
